Chapter 65: Hospitality

Mrs. Jin nodded secretly, the Fu family is really a virtuous person, and he taught these two children very well, it can be seen that the daughter-in-law doesn't like them, and they don't like this grandmother very much, but this etiquette has not been abolished because of these dislikes, and this alone is better than the other children in Fengju's room.

Just thinking about it, I saw Fu Qiuning and Yujie Yuniang also hurriedly walked in and saluted Mrs. Jiang. Jiang Wanying saw that she had a handkerchief on her head, and the cloth clothes she was wearing were still a little dusty, no matter how she looked at it, she was no different from those peasant women in the countryside, and her appearance was only delicate, she frowned, and secretly said Maybe I am really too careful, how can such a woman arouse my cousin's love? He is a little marquis of a dignified family, and he is not a toad who has never seen the world.

Thinking of this, my guard relaxed slightly. But when I think of the inferior nature of men, it is best if I don't get it, so I am secretly awe-inspiring, and my heart can't be completely relaxed, no matter what, this is always a trouble, and it is a problem that is very easy to get rid of, but now it is always impossible to get rid of it. How can you take it lightly.

"I heard Feng Ju say, the old lady likes your sweet potatoes here, so you can go and steam a few of them. Are all the sweet potatoes in the backyard out of the house? Isn't there a subordinate? Do you have to do it yourself? Let people see, like what words? Mrs. Jiang slowly sipped the tea, looked Fu Qiuning up and down, her brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes were full of dissatisfaction.

"It's just more than a hundred catties, and it's already been selected and steamed." Fu Qiuning said respectfully, but he thought in his heart that I have two subordinates here, if I don't want to help, this sweet potato will have to be in the Year of the Monkey? Now you're here with me, eating my stuff. If you still want to point fingers, is there any reason for it? ”

As soon as I thought of this, I heard Mrs. Jin smile and said: "Follow the customs of the locals, and the guests are as they are pleased, I didn't say anything." Daughter-in-law, don't pick too much. Isn't it okay to have something good for us to eat? If you are not used to it, I don't need you to serve here, so go back." It's a mess to come to Wan Yatou, and I can't do without it. ”

"Ancestor, what are these words? Are you afraid that I will rob you of your good food? Jiang Wanying hurriedly put down the teacup and said with a smile on her face: "My sister also said just now, it is enough to have a hundred catties." Ancestors, you can eat again. Can you still eat a hundred pounds? You don't have to be so greedy, for fear that we will rob you of your good things. It's so easy to rely on the blessings of our ancestors today, and let us taste the fresh, why don't you take care of us? ”

Mrs. Jin said with a smile: "If you want to try the fresh, then you can stay, and save yourself from saying that my wife is greedy, and she will come up more and more, so you dare to say this about me." After that, he said to the maid beside him: "Luocui." You send a little girl to the study to have a look, and if Feng Ju is there, let him come over too. The provincial government complained in the future, saying that everything was eaten by the ancestors. He was at a loss. ”

Mrs. Jiang hurriedly smiled: "I haven't gone to ask for peace this morning, I think it's because the court has something to stay, I heard Wan Yatou say, Prince Rong's mansion has also sent someone to call a few times, so it will not be in the mansion at this time, the ancestor can enjoy it with peace of mind, and I will let someone send him some when I go back." ”

Mrs. Jin let out an "um" and nodded, "That's it." When the words fell, Fu Qiuning said: "Ancestor, Mrs., sit here for a while, and I'll go see the fire." "When he was done, he had to step down. But I heard Xu laugh and said, "What are these words?" Is my sister a cook? If you don't have to look at the sweet potatoes in person, they won't be mushy? What's the use of those who are to serve? Why don't you sit here and talk to us? Naturally, if my sister must say that you can't do these jobs without you, my sister doesn't dare to stop her, everything is still based on the taste of the ancestors. ”

Fu Qiuning glanced at the Xu family, who was competing everywhere, smiled faintly, and said in a low voice: "Let my sister laugh, I really want me to watch this thing in person, the ancestor and his wife are accompanied by someone like my sister who can speak well, where can I be used?" After speaking, he nodded slightly and walked away.

Here Xu Shi looked at her back and sneered: "A concubine is a concubine, and she doesn't understand any etiquette, so she really thinks of herself as a cook." It's so disrespectful in front of the subordinates......" Before she finished speaking, she heard Mrs. Jin cough, and she quickly turned into a smile and said: "Yes, I can't speak, if I want to come to this woman's virtue, cooking skills should also be counted, otherwise where will I get to wash my hands and make soup?" Now my sister personally cooks for her ancestors, which is filial piety. I always have the heart to cook and honor my ancestors, but I just don't have this opportunity. I don't think our second grandmother will be as unlucky as me, and I don't know how many things I cooked for my ancestors. ”

Jiang Wanying's hatred in her heart, this Xu family is the most oily and salty, soft and hard, and does not eat. In addition to pretending to be obedient in front of Jin Fengju, others don't pay attention to it, and she is extremely measured, not reckless, and only insinuates in her words, which is also the main reason why she would rather let Jin Zangfeng and Jin Zangjiao's brothers and sisters go to school this time, and also remove her or Fu Qiuning, it is really that this woman is like a toad, and she is disgusting and panicked if she doesn't bite people by your side.

immediately sneered: "My sister is wrong, where do I have the ability to be as exquisite as you?" When I was at home that day, my mother only said that I was the granddaughter of Lu Guogong, and I had to learn a lot of things before I could take care of the family in my husband's house in the future, so the time to learn the cooking skills of female red was very short, so I didn't dare to show ugliness in front of my ancestors. It's not as good as my sister.,Ah,Speaking of which,My sister is really much stronger than my sister.,My sister is a concubine.,You don't need to learn housekeeping on weekdays.,Naturally have time to learn female red cooking.。 But isn't my sister a concubine? Although your father is not a prominent prince, he is also a fourth-grade Beijing official, why didn't he let you learn some housekeeping tricks? Or did my sister already know that she was going to marry someone and be an aunt...... That's it.,It's getting more and more boring to say this.,It's also stupid.,I think it's supposed to be my sister's talent.,There's no need to learn without a teacher.。 ”

Mrs. Jin has long been accustomed to this kind of rhetoric in the courtyard of a high-rise mansion, speaking of which, she was once one of them, at that time, the old marquis was once noble, and her struggle with several concubines was even more powerful than this. What is cynicism on the lips? The most thrilling thing is all kinds of secret calculations, how many people have lost their lives in this calculation, although there have been many open and secret battles in the Jinfeng house, but no one has died so far, speaking of which, it is also his grandson who is smart and has a good way of governing the family, so that these wives and concubines are afraid in their hearts, and they will not be unscrupulous.

The old lady thought about it in a trance, and Mrs. Jiang and the others talked for a while, and suddenly smelled a sweet aroma wafting in. Then I saw Fu Qiuning and Yujie Yuniang walking out with a large food plate, there were several plates on the plate, and the sweet aroma was emanating from the plate.

"Ancestor, this is a baked sweet potato slice, steamed is also available, put it in the kitchen to cool first, I'm afraid it's too hot to eat now." Fu Qiuning came to Jin Lao Taijun and gently put a plate in front of her, Jin Zangjiao immediately picked up a piece of baked golden sweet potato, and said in a childish voice: "Grandma, I just washed my hands and peeled the sweet potato skin for you, and the baked sweet potato slices are delicious." ”

Mrs. Jin smiled: "Okay, good, my granddaughter is still filial." When the words fell, Fu Qiuning took out another plate and handed it to Jin Zangfeng, and said with a smile: "Give this to Mrs." ”

Jin Zangfeng answered, came to Mrs. Jiang with a plate, peeled a piece of sweet potato for her, and said with a smile: "Mrs. tasted it, I also washed my hands and it was clean." After speaking, he handed the sweet potato to Mrs. Jiang.

Mrs. Jiang showed a smile on her face, nodded and took the sweet potato, put it in her mouth and chewed it slowly. And Jiang Wanying, Xu's Huo and others can't get this kind of treatment, how can they say that Fu Qiuning is also a wife, and there is no reason to serve them, so there is only the sweet potatoes served by Yujie and Yu Niang.

Speaking of which, although Jiang Wanying is just a flat wife, her status is slightly inferior to Fu Qiuning, but now she is in charge of the real power in the family, if she is an ordinary woman, at this time, she bows her head a little, and brings her a plate of sweet potato chips to make her happy, so that she can get some benefits here, and there is nothing wrong with it. But who is Fu Qiuning? Although he has gone through hardships, he has relied on his hands, but he has also been free for six years in this night, how can he be willing to surrender his identity to do that kind of thing for some benefits?

Therefore, Jiang Wanying felt a little uncomfortable while eating sweet potato chips, but her status was indeed not as high as others, and there was nothing to say. Therefore, the little jealousy that had just been suppressed in my heart became strong again, and I secretly said no, this woman is neither humble nor arrogant, once she is allowed to come out, will I not be subdued by her? Since I refuse to bow my head, then don't blame me for being ruthless, I have to find a way to get her out of this Hou Mansion if I say anything, I can't let her take my position in vain, I turned a few ideas in my heart for a while, but I didn't feel that it was appropriate, and I had to plan secretly, my cousin was very shrewd, and he couldn't show his feet.

Everyone had their own thoughts, and this sweet sweet potato didn't taste good. Only the old lady couldn't stop applauding, Fu Qiuning said with a smile: "The old ancestor likes to eat, so I will bring you some when I go back." After speaking, he said to Yujie and Yu Niang: "You still go to the backyard and dig some more, be careful not to fork out scars and holes." ”

Yujie Yuniang agreed, here Fu Qiuning accompanied Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Jiang to talk for a while, and suddenly heard Mrs. Jiang say: "Speaking of which, Fengxuan has never come to see since I entered the mansion this night, and now I feel that this courtyard is very neat, why don't you take us around." ”

Fu Qiuning knew that Mrs. Jiang was a little unconvinced, and the other rooms were as simple as the small hall, and secretly laughed in his heart: Are you afraid that your son will send me all those good things and himself? His own place is not full, where will he send it to me? Besides, even if he wants to curry favor with me, there is no reason to send all his brains, right? It always has to be a long stream, not to mention that there is not even a drop of water now. Because he stood up and said goodbye to the old lady, he led Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Wanying and others to walk a few rooms together, and said as they walked: "There are many houses, we have few people, and there is no need to clean every room, but it is generally good, only the few rooms I live in are cleaned up every day......"
